Dad called this evening.

This pictures shows where we talk to Dad when he calls. The Army told us to always switch to a non-remote land line to talk to him to cut down on the chance of taps. This phone in his and Mama's room is the only non-remote land line phone we have.

The telecommunications where he is are really pathetic. The internet is irregular and slow. The phones break up, have time limits, and randomly cut us off. But he's really faithful to call and email regularly, which is a really good thing for this little gal. I need his support and wisdom so much. Today we talked about my job hunting and some alternatives to what I'm doing now.

Dad is such an amazing person and I'm so grateful to have him. Sadly, he's not a photographer or a blogger and he has expressed no interest in even just reading a photo stream. So, I doubt any of y'all will get to meet him or get to know him and you're the poorer for it. My sympathies.
